About

We celebrate the divine feminine in all forms. From well known deities to those not so widely appreciated, we want stories of goddesses. Take us to Asgard, to Olympus, to the far East or ancient Egypt; to the great plains, humid jungles, or mountain heights of the Americas; to the islands of the Pacific and the Atlantic; to New York and Tokyo and Johannesburg; to worlds that never were, worlds that might be, and worlds yet undiscovered — wherever your spirit takes you. Dive into whatever pantheon you desire and bring us your best tales of the Divine Feminine.
